Punta Cana
Santo Domingo Airport SDQ for Punta Cana travelers for arriving travellers
SDQ is Santo Domingo's main airport and sometimes the only option (LATAM, Iberia, Avianca routings often land here). It's a 2 h 15 min private SUV ride to Punta Cana on the Coral toll highway — bypass the 4 h Caribe Tour bus. Realistic plan: clear SDQ immigration in 30–45 min, meet your driver at the covered exit, stop once at Higüey for fuel/coffee, drop at Bávaro / Cap Cana / Uvero Alto. Price: $189 1–3 pax, $249 4–8 pax, $329 9–15 pax. Don't try to taxi-rank it — published rates are 2× ours and the cars are older.
